Hello
I have an outside light run in T&E in black plastic conduit. The switch stopped working and the RCD was nusiance tripping.
On opening the switch I found it was full of water. The switch is a BG slimline IP67. The conduit enters through the top using a black push fit gland and I think water is leaking into the switch through the gland.
Have you seen these glands? Are they suitable and when I refit the new switch how should I prevent water ingress? Should I be gluing the gland on, to seal it? It was just pushed on. Otherwise I could replace with a traditional compression gland.
Thanks
